The Book

Down in the basement Pepe found the book on the pool table. When the manor was a brothel back in the twenties Great Grandmother Helliwell would play pool with the clients while they were waiting for their turn. Pepe picked up the book and turned to Bambi.

"This is a cookbook."

Shrew walked over to Pepe and read the cover of the book.

"Embrace Your Culinary Goddess? Bambi did you hit your head?"

Bambi looked at her two sisters.

"What's wrong with you guys?"

Shrew and Pepe looked at each other and shrugged before turning back to Bambi.

"We have no idea what you're talking about."

Bambi hated it when her sisters went all Doublemint Twins.

"Pepe took my eyes when we were in the kitchen."

"I did. But you have your eyes."

Bambi wasn't sure how that happened but she had a clear memory of being in the kitchen when Pepe suddenly took her eyes.

"Are you have one of your episodes?"

Pepe and Shrew wondered about their little sister's sanity.Shrew remembered the last time Bambi had an episode. Shrew found her at the bottom of the stairs twitching and foaming at the mouth.

"No I'm not."

Bambi didn't think her sisters were lying but she clearly remembered losing her eyes.

"I think I need to go lay down."

Bambi went upstairs and went to her bedroom on the second floor.

"Do you think she's going to be okay?"

Shrew looked at Pepe.

"I'm sure she'll be fine after a nap."

Pepe wasn't so sure about that. Pepe took the cookbook and went back upstairs with Shrew right behind her.

"Okay let's see what we have here."

Pepe put the cookbook on the counter and started looking through it. She found a cookie recipe that she just had to try out.

"I feel like making cookies."

Pepe just loved cookies.

"Call me when the cookies are done."

Shrew decided to go take a bubble bath. She had a hard day at work. It wasn't easy reading tacos all day. One lady insisted that her taco was a dead ringer for the Eiffel Tower. Shrew spent two hours with the woman trying to calm her down after she flipped out when Shrew didn't agree with her.

"I can do this."

Luckily Pepe was able to find all of the ingredients she needed. She was relieved that she wouldn't have to take a trip to the store. Grocery stores creeped Pepe out after she was attacked by a clown in the cereal aisle. Forty-five minutes later cookies were cooling on the counter. Pepe walked to the foot of the stairs and called out to her sisters.

"The cookies are done."

Pepe started walking back to the kitchen to grab a couple cookies when she heard what sounded like a herd of elephants.
